Plus, ex-Arsenal star Rachel Yankey joins the show to chat about what it was like becoming England's first female professional footballer and to talk about Alessia Russo's fantastic season. Deborah Dilworth, the head of women's football at the football supporters association tells us all about Free Lionesses - an organisation that helps Lionesses travelling fans! And Luke Swindlehurst breaks down the Asia Cup results.
